Mike Vick: I would like to own a dog again someday
![]() Why Mike?? Why?? http://content.usatoday.com/communit...gain-someday/1 Michael Vick would like to be a dog owner again. The Philadelphia Eagles QB -- convicted in 2007 of a federal dogfighting crime -- has said he would like to run full circle and again own a dog if the courts will allow him. Vick was banned from owning a dog as part of the sentence handed down that sent him to prison for 18 months. "I would love to get another dog in the future," Vick told TheGrio.com. "I think it would be a big step for me in the rehabilitation process. I think just to have a pet in my household and to show people that I genuinely care, and my love, and my passion for animals." Vick, enjoying one of his best-ever seasons after winning the Eagles' starting job in September, has tried to make amends for his dogfighting past. He completed his 20-month sentence, which included two months of home confinement, and began working with the Humane Society. Vick was banned from owning a dog under the terms of his supervised release in July 2009. The supervised release was set to run for three years. Vick has since apologized for his role in the dogfighting ring and he now informs young people about the evils of the bloodsport. He told TheGrio.com he was around dogfighting from a young age. "I hate to use our culture as an excuse, but it is what it is and that's what happened and that's the way I thought about it growing up," Vick said. "This is just the way we were brought up." Vick has said that prison changed him and made him a smarter and more mature person for having to endure the embarrassment and personal pain of incarceration. And he made an interesting note about what advice he would give now to himself four years ago. "That Mike probably wouldn't listen to nothing that I had to say," Vick said. |

Don't be a moron. It's not like he's going to put it in a dog fight. You honestly think he would be stupid enough to do it again and look like a hypocrite? Use your brain.
I saw an interview his did a few weeks (maybe a month) ago saying that it would be a family pet. I seriously doubt he let the dogs he had before near his family. |

![]() Please...because soon as he was released from prison he was a changed man. Steered clear of those people he hung out with prior to his life changing experience...other than the man shot at his 30th bday party shortly after his release...he is a NEW person. NEVER will go down THAT road again. But I must me wrong....you saw an interview. An interview... And he speaks the truth...right commissioner...?so it must be true. An interview...you got me. Brilliant source..straight from the dogs mouth. Please. Naive much?

Your avatar is perfect for you. I hope you never have any real authority.

One thing I find disturbing is the amount of people who absolutely hate this guy or find so much disdain for him....it sure seems like he gets a tougher rap than some freaking murderers. I mean hell...is anyone debating if Stallworth wants to get another car? I like animals and really don't care much for Vick, but holy crap this guy takes a lot of heat.

In a related story former Vice-Presidential Nominee John Edwards has told friends he is exploring the possibility of another run for the White House in 2016.

SOme people just don't believe in redemption or second chances. He paid his debt to society. He didn't kill a ****ing person...it was dog fighting. Which is barbaric, but it doesn't quite reach the same level.
Some people deserve second chances, and I think Vick is one of those people. He's doing everything right, and I'd bet he did indeed come out of prison a changed man. Give him a break, he's paid his debt and is doing things right.
